Graal VS maven-jpackage-template

How does it compare to graal wasm? https://github.com/oracle/graal/blob/master/wasm/README.md/

Java was created by James Gosling and released by Sun Microsystems in 1995. It was designed with the principle of "Write Once, Run Anywhere" (WORA), enabling cross-platform compatibility through the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Over the years, Java became a leading language for enterprise applications, Android development, and large-scale backend systems. Oracle now maintains Java, with modern innovations such as Project Loom and GraalVM enhancing its performance.

Sorry, I know you weren't asking me, but for this same use case, yes, I've used a GHA build matrix with each OS/arch pair.

Cosmo/APE support would fix this, and GraalVM already ships with a Musl libc implementation, so it isn't very far off.

It wasn’t long before I ran into several other blog posts about developers successfully using GraalVM and frameworks such as Quarkus to address this very problem. And so I’ve decided to try it out for myself.

GraalVM adds an advanced just-in-time (JIT) optimizing compiler, which is written in Java, to the HotSpot Java Virtual Machine.

You can trim down the runtime[1] but the tooling around doing this is non-existent / unreliable. Alternatively, you can generate native binaries with GraalVM[2] which comes with its own baggage (license, slow compile time, etc).

Too bad it looks stuck since about a month ago (https://github.com/oracle/graal/issues/8350#issuecomment-210...), needs some attention from @jart.

Really now? Now that's interesting. I thought GraalVM might be a good option in that space https://www.graalvm.org/ last I checked, but something literally called Hermetic Java has my interest piqued.

You can add a GitHub Action to automatically generate installers as shown here: https://github.com/wiverson/maven-jpackage-template

Also, go the the original. I made a mistake and put a link to my clone of that repo. I made changes that I like and it is best you get the original. It can be found here.

When I was working on a project I find this template very useful. https://github.com/wiverson/maven-jpackage-template (I used the older version of it). You have to just configure some of the setup and reset is managed by the github actions for all the platforms.

Love this. You might want to consider adding a template.

Here is a template, where you can take a Full JDK and create a packaged application for windows, macOS, or linux. here

If you mean an app w/installer check out https://github.com/wiverson/maven-jpackage-template
